Speak Story Series, Shepherdstown, WV
I could not have asked for a more perfect goodbye performance for my American experience.
Four days before leaving the USA, and after six years spent studying, traveling, and performing in this vast and fascinating country, I was invited to tell stories in the Speak Story Series of Shepherdstown, WV, courtesy of Adam Booth.
